Shot (slipcover)
Malibu High
Slaughterhouse

 

I jumped on The Severed Arm - the bleakness of it really grew om me on the second viewing, and I'm looking forward to seeing it get a proper release. I was back and forth on Dr. Jeckyll's Dungeon of Death and L.A. Wars - curious but not completely sold on either. Any rabid fans out there?

 

I'm trying not to place a third order...

 

I grabbed...


Flesh-Eating Mothers Limited Edition Slipcover1 $17.49

Olivia Limited Edition Slipcover $17.49

Deadline Limited Edition Slipcover $17.49

The Psychic Killer Limited Slipcover (w/ Blu-ray) $19.99

Night Train to Terror Limited Slipcover (slip only) $7.00

****Noteworthy items getting very low are Deadline, The Psychic Killer, Bersker, and Pledge Night.

I can't wait to get back to The Archive. I always look forward to these sales as an excuse to go visit those guys.

 

I placed two orders. That's enough for this sale.

Blood Games (Blu-ray)
Dr. Jekyll's Dungeon of Death (Blu-ray)
Forgotten Gialli: Volume One (Blu-ray)
Hellmaster (Blu-ray)
L.A. Wars (Blu-ray)
Night Train to Terror (Slipcover only)
Olivia (Blu-ray)
The Psychic Killer (Slipcover only)
The Severed Arm (Blu-ray)

 

The problem when you place a huge order (this is my first time going over $100), is you get to a point where you ask "what's another $17.00 when I've already spent $250?"

I'm really gonna try to restrain myself, but I can see going over $300 this time.

 

I placed another tiny order for Corruption, finally, mainly for the easter egg. It doesn't seem likely that Last House on Dead End Street is going to get a "restored" release anytime soon...

I'm thinking of ordering Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff or The Candy Tangerine Man / Lady Cocoa before the sale ends... but can't seem to decide between the two. GLMW is certainly in the lower stock and likely to sell out faster.

 

If you missed John Lyons' recommendation list:

 

^ Good list of recs from Vinegar Syndrome.

If I were to recommend two lesser known ones that I personally loved, it would be the macabre regional oddity Grave Robbers and Canuxploitation gem Sudden Fury.

 

Final order, I really mean it this time

The Killing Kind
Darkroom
Red Roses of Passion
Pigs
Secta Siniestra
A Thousand and One Erotic Nights

Top Ramen, here I come.

 

I placed one more small order, also my final one this time around:

Pretty Peaches Trilogy
Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff

There's a few others I want to get at some point, but they are still over 500 in stock and should almost certainly be around for the next sale in the fall.

 

I watched the first Pretty Peaches movie a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad porno, but the first three sex scenes are all non-consensual (at least within the context of the film), and that's a real boner-killer for me. I caught Sex World over the weekend, and I liked that a lot more (shut up, not that way). I felt a little Milhouse-y on that, asking "When are they gonna get to Sex World?", as it opens with everyone on the bus for SW, then does a good 30 minutes of flashback sex scenes. It picks up once they arrive though.
So concludes Paff's Porn Reviews.

Watched The Corruption of Chris Miller last night, and that's a real gem. Great production values, and even though it's a bit slow for the first hour, it's one of those movies where you know all the little details are gonna be important later, and they are. Definitely worth a rewatch, glad I got it. If you still haven't maxed out your CCs yet, I highly recommend it.

 

So far I've purchased:

Night Train to Terror (slip only)
Psychic Killer (slip only)
Play Dead
Beyond the Door III
The Candy Snatchers
Hollywood Horror House
Deadline

...when the website stock snafu was fixed I added:

The Severed Arm

Now before the sale ends I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on:

Beyond Evil
Amityville: The Cursed Collection
Berserker
The Corruption of Chris Miller
Forgotten Gialli, Vol. I
A Woman's Torment
The Mountaintop Motel Massacre

With the exception of "The Mountaintop Motel Massacre," the rest of the titles would be blind buys. I'm not a hardcore giallo fan, but enjoy them enough. I prefer those that are most like slashers as opposed to krimis and police procedurals...or those with supernatural/occult spins. Also, I'm more interested in the "R" cut of A Woman's Torment as opposed to the hardcore one...does it stand up as a horror flick?... Anyone have any last minute quick reviews before the sale ends? I'll have to whittle that list down by at least half before pulling the trigger...

 

I picked up the Angel and Amityville box sets, I'm a cheap date HAHA. I'm glad I waited up to do the sale because the Angel set sold out by morning IIRC. VS must clean up, they could sell people dog shit wrapped in a slipcover and people would buy it. They're slips are top notch and whats up with the mini slipcovers? I wasnt aware that the sale is based off the MSRP so when I saw the price of the items higher I was a little put off but then I was told what the deal was and I'm content on the prices I got and I'm happy with them because I know VS does fantastic work.

 

What scares me most is I see people who also did a major "haul" on this sale (here and other forums), and I compare my collection to their list and only find 3 or 4 in common. Meaning I can still do a hefty amount of damage to my CC at the next sale.

Take Russ' list for example. 18 titles. Of those, only 5 coincide with mine (either I have them already, or bought them this weekend). That's 13 titles he got that I chose not to. But it's 13 more I might be interested in. I was kinda hoping this major purchase I made would back-fill my collection sufficiently, and from now on I'd just choose whichever new releases I want. That might not be the case.

 

I went into the sale only planning on getting a couple of titles but kept adding more and more. Since I began subscribing this past year I think I'm pretty well caught up at this point.

This is the "bonus" item (mini pin?) contained in at least one of the 3 Mini Slipcovers:

 

Cool - where did you find that? I ended up going back for all the mini slips so I'm pleased there's something substantial inside. I was worried it would be a generic sticker or something.
